National Men Make Dinner Day: Ride Out, Cook In – 7 November 2025

Category: Lifestyle & Culture | Region: UK-wide

Every first Thursday in November, National Men Make Dinner Day invites men to take charge of the evening meal—no BBQs, no takeaways, and no excuses. It’s a light-hearted nudge to get more men into the kitchen, especially those who usually leave the cooking to someone else.

This year, we’re giving it a motorcycling twist. Picture this: your partner heads out for a solo autumn ride, soaking up the golden leaves and crisp air, while you stay back and tackle dinner duty. Whether you’re a dab hand with the frying pan or just figuring out how to boil pasta, it’s all about effort, humour, and sharing the load.

How to Celebrate (and Survive) Men Make Dinner Day

•     Choose a recipe: Something seasonal, hearty, and achievable. Think stew, risotto, or a classic roast.
•     Set the scene: Light a candle, cue up some music, and make it feel like a proper welcome home.
•     Share your success (or chaos): Tag us in your kitchen creations and autumn ride snaps using #MenMakeDinnerDay and #BMFSupport.

Why It Matters

Cooking is a life skill, and this day is a playful way to challenge old habits and celebrate shared responsibility. Plus, it’s a great excuse for your partner to enjoy a solo ride while you take care of dinner.
